These look like a lot of fun to make. Perhaps if someone did not like the raw edge look, they could make their templates a bit over-sized and do the traditional folding over the edge method. I think it would depend on the project and the fabric itself, though. Some fabrics lend to raw edge to get fuzzy and fray or a simple zig-zag or the like stitch, while other fabrics are more “formal” and need a bit of edging (a nice satin stitch) or the turned edge method. Quite frankly, I love the time-saver method of fusing fabric applique! I do not have the urge to set it aside out of frustration (or even sometimes out of boredom).
